Everything pingVu does

Features & pricing

A free, honest connectivity toolkit β€” with premium field tools for people whose day depends on knowing when service is back.

Core

Monitoring & alerts

πŸ”” Verified restoration alerts

The moment a real connection completes after a dead zone β€” sound, haptic, both, or silent notifications. Escalating reminders until you acknowledge.

πŸ“Ά Independent dual monitoring

Cellular and Wi-Fi watched separately with interface-bound verification, per-network Γ— per-tier custom tones and haptics.

πŸ—£ Voice vs. data indicator

See the radio type your phone is registered on (5G/LTE/3G) alongside pingVu's own verified data state β€” two different questions, both answered honestly.

πŸ“‰ Live quality history

A quality graph over 15 minutes, 1 hour, or 24 hours that honestly shows gaps where no samples exist.

πŸŒ™ Background coverage

Opt-in dead-zone geofence alerts and background refresh checks β€” get notified about known dead zones even when the app is closed.

⌚ Everywhere iOS lets us be

Live Activity & Dynamic Island, Home/Lock Screen widgets, Control Center control, and Siri Shortcuts.

Measure

Tests & diagnostics

⚑ Connection Check

Download, upload, ping, jitter, and packet loss β€” plus an estimated call quality (MOS) score from the ITU-T E-model. No call is ever placed.

🎬 VideoScout

Measures startup time, stalls, and sustained quality on a controlled test stream β€” graded Poor to Excellent with a "smooth up to 1080p"-style summary. Data-capped on cellular.

πŸ“‘ Hotspot check

Verify a hotspot actually delivers before you commit your laptop to it.

Navigate

Maps & direction

🧭 SignalScout

A compass-style view pointing toward better signal, combining your own samples, community coverage, and a cell-tower directory (OpenCelliD data).

πŸ—Ί Personal coverage map

Trip Mode and ambient route collection (opt-in, battery-paced) build your own map of where service worked β€” with dead-zone markers.

🌐 Community cell service layer

Anonymous, verified coverage shared by opted-in users β€” the same data as the web coverage map.

Act

When service returns

πŸ’¬ Queued actions

Draft texts and calls during an outage; the moment service is verified back they're surfaced ready to send. You always confirm β€” nothing auto-sends.

🚨 Field Assist

One tap to call your favorite contact, open Messages or Maps, or record where coverage failed you.

πŸ• Field Mode

Bigger controls, higher contrast, boosted alerts, and screen-awake for outdoor and jobsite use.
